Coilovers for my Polo - Your thoughts?

[caseydhnaram]

Hey guys,

I've had one of my friends purchase these coilvoers off eBay from the UK and he said they were extremely good for the price. All I pretty much want is a little stiffer and to be able to adjust the height. Here is the ones I'm looking at: COILOVER VW POLO 9N 6R ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION | eBay

Let me know your thoughts

Best to PM Josh (Golfman) for his honest opinion, he's been running a set of HotTuning (which these appear to be) on his Polo for a while now.

Hey there,

I have Hot tuning coilovers in my Polo GTI and have been running them for about 50,000kms. They are extremely affordable and look awesome - nice and low. However ths ride is absolutely appalling and has gotten worse and unbearable for me - great handling though. If you want your polo to look nice and low and not to phased about comfort - these are the coilovers for you!!

What's your budget for the gear?

[Smead]

I'm running FK AK Stretline Coilies which have lowered the Polo nicley

Cost $430 Delivered from Performance 3000 in the UK. Drops it nicley

and the ride qualitiy isn't too bad at all around town. Can be a bit ruff

though when you give it a bit on backroads

I've got the Kw V1's and they are still a bit firmer than standard, but the rebound and damping is so so sooooooo worth it

[GoLfMan]

Look into FK highlines as well still cheaper than KW V2 and from being in a FK coilovered car, worth it.

I'll write a review when mine land

Lots of opinions. Worth prioritizing comfort, price or budget. I'd add a rear sway to any setup.

Maybe have a look at this thread, to see some opinions of where FKs and HotTunings live in terms of long term comfort.

As for the rear anti-roll bar, you can easily add that any time (I don't feel the need for one with my Bilstein setup, was considering it when running stock)
